Motor Plate Question ....

At what horsepower level do you think motor plates are necessary. This would be in a Pro Stock pulling truck ( hoping for around 850 hp ). I currently have solid motor mounts but I'm concerned about the bolts pulling out or breaking the block.

It's time now.

I agree.

I agree if you start wondering if something is strong enough time to make the change and I think with 850hp it is time

A motor plate is a great deal, because it is so easy to install and makes it much cleaner and easier to work on. Call Randy Malik and get the one he sells, you won't be disappointed.

I sent you a PM with information about the motor plates that I make for BBFs.
Recently, forum member IcallhimGeorge installed one of my plates for an O.E. cover in his truck and from all reports has a successful conversion from side mounts to motor plate, even retaining his power steering and alternator in the process.

O.K., Front and Midplate it is . On the mid-plate, I already have the Lakewood block saver plate and if I add a 3/16 mid-plate the trans. input shaft won't quite reach all the way thru the front clutch disc. ( runnin' a 2 disc clutch ). How do you guys install your mid-plates ? Pics would help too.
Keith, I'll be giving you a call next week. ( the PM didn't come thru ).

If it helps....my mid plates are .100 (or so) thick and 32" wide.
Custom plates are no big problem too.
Thanks

OK
Here is the deal...

You can do this deal at the track.
If your cholesterol numbers decrease (and they will) you can buy a KFM t-shirt to sport your goods!
